Sports Associations
Wageningen University has 32 different SSAs. In addition to trainings, these associations also organize social activities on their own and are a great place to get to know people with shared interests. Besides these associations, SWU Thymos promotes several acknowledged associations (ASAs) which are not exclusively for students. Membership in these associations is subsidized by SWU Thymos.
Become member of a Student Sports Association?
For all members of Student Sports Associations it is mandatory to have valid annual sports rights at Sports Centre "de Bongerd".
Stay member after graduation
WUR alumni can remain a member of an SSA for up to 5 years after graduation. You will need to have alumni sports rights for as long as you stay a member of the association.
